[dpdk-dev] [RFC 0/3] rte_mtr: generic ethdev API for metering and policing

[dpdk-dev] [RFC 0/3] rte_mtr: generic ethdev API for metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

This patch set introduces an ethdev-based generic API for Traffic
Metering and Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for
Ethernet devices.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.
Metering and policing action typically sits on top of flow classification,
which is why MTR objects are enabled through a newly introduced rte_flow
action, which is the only impact to rte_flow API.

Q1: Why introduce ethdev-based traffic metering ad policing API?
A1: Traffic metering and policing is a standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices present in NICs, SoCs and NPUs across the industry.

Q2: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
librte_meter library?
A2: The existing librte_meter library provides a SW implementation for a
subset of the features exposed by this API. The rte_mtr API is agnostic to
whether the implementation is HW, SW or mixed HW-SW.

Q3: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
rte_flow API?
A3: The MTR object is hooked into ethdev RX processing path using a newly
introduced rte_flow action, which is the only impact to the rte_flow API.
The configuration of MTR objects is done in separate namespace (rte_mtr)
outside of rte_flow API.

Q4: Can the new rte_flow meter action drop packets? Is this a terminating
action or not?
A4: Although packets can be dropped by the newly introduced rte_flow meter
action, this action is non-terminating, i.e. the action list typically
contains at least one more action, which is a terminating action.
Depending on the policer actions configured for the MTR object, some
packets might be dropped while some packets passed to the next flow action
with their color set in the packet mbuf. For example, a typical policer
configuration is to drop the red packets while passing the green packets,
therefore a subsequent rte_flow action needs to be configured to determine
the final destination of green packets.

Q5: Which are the main operations exposed for the MTR object?
A5: Traffic metering, policing and statistics update. Traffic metering
determines the color for the current packet (green, yellow, red) based on
the previous history for this flow as maintained by the MTR object.
The policer can do nothing, recolor or drop the packet. Stats are
maintained for MTR object, as configured.

Q6: Where is the output color stored for the current packet.
A6: struct rte_mbuf::sched::color.

Q7: Which are the supported metering algorithms?
A7: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698).

Q8: Which are the supported policer actions?
A8: Recolor the packet (keep or change the color determined by metering)
or drop the packet.

Cristian Dumitrescu (3):

+ * @file
+ * RTE Generic Traffic Metering and Policing API
+ *
+ * This interface provides the ability to configure the traffic metering and
+ * policing (MTR) in a generic way.
+ *
+ * The processing done for each input packet hitting a MTR object is:
+ *    A) Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
+ *       color), based on the previous history of the flow reflected in the
+ *       current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
+ *       metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
+ *       in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
+ *       initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
+ *       equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
+ *    B) Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+ *       output color, which can:
+ *          a) Drop the packet.
+ *          b) Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
+ *             meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
+ *          c) Recolor the packet: the policer output color is different than
+ *             the meter output color.
+ *       The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
+ *       set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
+ *    C) Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+ *       configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
+ *       includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
+ *       output color.
+ *
+ * Once successfully created, an MTR object is linked to one or several flows
+ * through the meter action of the flow API.
+ *    A) Whether an MTR object is private to a flow or potentially shared by
+ *       several flows has to be specified at creation time.
+ *    B) Several meter actions can be potentially registered for the same flow.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] rte_mtr: generic ethdev API for metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

This patch set introduces an ethdev-based generic API for Traffic
Metering and Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for
Ethernet devices.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.
Metering and policing action typically sits on top of flow classification,
which is why MTR objects are enabled through a newly introduced rte_flow
action, which is the only impact to rte_flow API.

Q1: Why introduce ethdev-based traffic metering ad policing API?
A1: Traffic metering and policing is a standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices present in NICs, SoCs and NPUs across the industry.

Q2: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
librte_meter library?
A2: The existing librte_meter library provides a SW implementation for a
subset of the features exposed by this API. The rte_mtr API is agnostic to
whether the implementation is HW, SW or mixed HW-SW.

Q3: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
rte_flow API?
A3: The MTR object is hooked into ethdev RX processing path using a newly
introduced rte_flow action, which is the only impact to the rte_flow API.
The configuration of MTR objects is done in separate namespace (rte_mtr)
outside of rte_flow API.

Q4: Can the new rte_flow meter action drop packets? Is this a terminating
action or not?
A4: Although packets can be dropped by the newly introduced rte_flow meter
action, this action is non-terminating, i.e. the action list typically
contains at least one more action, which is a terminating action.
Depending on the policer actions configured for the MTR object, some
packets might be dropped while some packets passed to the next flow action
with their color set in the packet mbuf. For example, a typical policer
configuration is to drop the red packets while passing the green packets,
therefore a subsequent rte_flow action needs to be configured to determine
the final destination of green packets.

Q5: Which are the main operations exposed for the MTR object?
A5: Traffic metering, policing and statistics update. Traffic metering
determines the color for the current packet (green, yellow, red) based on
the previous history for this flow as maintained by the MTR object.
The policer can do nothing, recolor or drop the packet. Stats are
maintained for MTR object, as configured.

Q6: Where is the output color stored for the current packet.
A6: struct rte_mbuf::sched::color.

Q7: Which are the supported metering algorithms?
A7: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698).

Q8: Which are the supported policer actions?
A8: Recolor the packet (keep or change the color determined by metering)
or drop the packet.

It will useful to have capability info here. In Cavium hardwares,
all input pkts are considered as green when they enqueue to ethdev tx
queue.

On the congestion control on Rx side, We support tail drop and RED per
mempool(not per RX queue)

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH V2 0/5] rte_mtr: generic ethdev api for metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

This patch set introduces an ethdev-based generic API for Traffic
Metering and Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for
Ethernet devices.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.
Metering and policing action typically sits on top of flow classification,
which is why MTR objects are enabled through a newly introduced flow
action, which is the only impact to flow API.

Q1: Why introduce ethdev-based traffic metering ad policing API?
A1: Traffic metering and policing is a standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices present in NICs, SoCs and NPUs across the industry.

Q2: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
librte_meter library?
A2: The existing librte_meter library provides a SW implementation for a
subset of the features exposed by this API. The rte_mtr API is agnostic to
whether the implementation is HW, SW or mixed HW-SW.

Q3: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
flow API?
A3: The MTR object is hooked into ethdev RX processing path using a newly
introduced flow action, which is the only impact to the flow API.
The configuration of MTR objects is done in separate namespace (rte_mtr)
outside of flow API.

Q4: Can the new flow API meter action drop packets? Is this a terminating
action or not?
A4: Although packets can be dropped by the newly introduced flow API meter
action, this action is non-terminating, i.e. the action list typically
contains at least one more action, which is a terminating action.
Depending on the policer actions configured for the MTR object, some
packets might be dropped while some packets passed to the next flow action
with their color set in the packet mbuf. For example, a typical policer
configuration is to drop the red packets while passing the green packets,
therefore a subsequent flow action needs to be configured to determine the
final destination of green packets.

Q5: Which are the main operations exposed for the MTR object?
A5: Traffic metering, policing and statistics update. Traffic metering
determines the color for the current packet (green, yellow, red) based on
the previous history for this flow as maintained by the MTR object.
The policer can do nothing, recolor or drop the packet. Stats are
maintained for MTR object, as configured.

Q6: Where is the output color stored for the current packet.
A6: struct rte_mbuf::sched::color.

Q7: Which are the supported metering algorithms?
A7: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).

Q8: Which are the supported policer actions?
A8: Recolor the packet (keep or change the color determined by metering)
or drop the packet.

Looks good, one minor comment about the METER action semantics before acking
this patch, see below.

rte_flow is currently documented [1] as ignoring several actions of the same
kind in a given rule, in which case only the last one is taken into
account. It's a deliberate design choice to simplify implementation, which
I now think wasn't such a good idea after all.

I'm therefore not opposed to remove this restriction globally, however in
that case rte_flow documentation must be modified and PMDs reworked to
implement the new behavior (failing by default when encountering multiple
actions of the same time instead of ignoring them). It's probably a little
late to do this now though.

So my suggestion for the time being is to not describe what happens when
several MTR actions are provided. We'll keep this for the next overhaul of
rte_flow (some other changes are already planned).

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH V4 0/5] rte_mtr: generic ethdev api for metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Metering and Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for
Ethernet devices.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.
Metering and policing action typically sits on top of flow classification,
which is why MTR objects are enabled through a newly introduced flow
action, which is the only impact to flow API.

Q1: Why introduce ethdev-based traffic metering ad policing API?
A1: Traffic metering and policing is a standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices present in NICs, SoCs and NPUs across the industry.

Q2: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
librte_meter library?
A2: The existing librte_meter library provides a SW implementation for a
subset of the features exposed by this API. The rte_mtr API is agnostic to
whether the implementation is HW, SW or mixed HW-SW.

Q3: What's the connection between the new rte_mtr API and the existing
flow API?
A3: The MTR object is hooked into ethdev RX processing path using a newly
introduced flow action, which is the only impact to the flow API.
The configuration of MTR objects is done in separate namespace (rte_mtr)
outside of flow API.

Q4: Can the new flow API meter action drop packets? Is this a terminating
action or not?
A4: Although packets can be dropped by the newly introduced flow API meter
action, this action is non-terminating, i.e. the action list typically
contains at least one more action, which is a terminating action.
Depending on the policer actions configured for the MTR object, some
packets might be dropped while some packets passed to the next flow action
with their color set in the packet mbuf. For example, a typical policer
configuration is to drop the red packets while passing the green packets,
therefore a subsequent flow action needs to be configured to determine the
final destination of green packets.

Q5: Which are the main operations exposed for the MTR object?
A5: Traffic metering, policing and statistics update. Traffic metering
determines the color for the current packet (green, yellow, red) based on
the previous history for this flow as maintained by the MTR object.
The policer can do nothing, recolor or drop the packet. Stats are
maintained for MTR object, as configured.

Q6: Where is the output color stored for the current packet.
A6: struct rte_mbuf::sched::color.

Q7: Which are the supported metering algorithms?
A7: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).

Q8: Which are the supported policer actions?
A8: Recolor the packet (keep or change the color determined by metering)
or drop the packet.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH V4 1/5] ethdev: add new flow action for metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Metering and policing action typically sits on top of flow classification,
which is why MTR objects are enabled through a newly introduced flow
action.

The configuration of MTR objects is done in their own namespace (rte_mtr)
within the librte_ether library. The MTR object is hooked into ethdev RX
processing path using the "meter" flow action.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH V4 3/5] ethdev: add new api for traffic metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

This patch introduces new ethdev generic API for Traffic Metering and
Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.

Main features:
1. Traffic metering: determine the color for the current packet (green,
   yellow, red) based on history maintained by the MTR object. Supported
   algorithms: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).
2. Policing (per meter output color actions): re-color the packet (keep
   or change the meter output color) or drop the packet.
3. Statistics
4. Capability API

Changes in v4:
- Input from Hemant:
	- Added the NONE metering algorithm for meter pass-through mode
	- Reordered stats counter types per pkt and per byte
	- Copyright cosmetics
- Updated ethdev port_id from uint8_t to uint16_t

Changes in v3:
- None

Changes in v2:
- Implemented input from Hemant:
     - Added support for RFC 4115 trTCM algorithm
     - Added support for meter pass-through mode: see API functions
       rte_mtr_meter_enable() and rte_mtr_meter_disable()
- Implemented input from Jerin:
     - Added capability API
- Implemented input from Thomas:
     - Added new API functions under the EXPERIMENTAL section in map file
- Improved the mechanism for MTR object chaining: each MTR object can be
  configured whther to read input color from a previous MTR object in the
  same flow (if any) of from DSCP traslation table
- Improved run-time update functions
- Doxygen: added more descriptions, small fixes

Changes in v1 (from RFC [1]):
- Implemented input from Thomas:
     - Added EXPERIMENTAL tag in rte_mtr.h and MANTAINERS for this new API
- Implemented input from Adrien:
     - Added more Doxygen comments to re-inforce relationship between MTR and
       flow
- Doxygen: added hook in doxy-api-index.md

+/**
+ * @file
+ * RTE Generic Traffic Metering and Policing API
+ *
+ * This interface provides the ability to configure the traffic metering and
+ * policing (MTR) in a generic way.
+ *
+ * The processing done for each input packet hitting a MTR object is:
+ *    A) Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
+ *       color), based on the previous history of the flow reflected in the
+ *       current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
+ *       metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
+ *       in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
+ *       initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
+ *       equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
+ *    B) Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+ *       output color, which can:
+ *          a) Drop the packet.
+ *          b) Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
+ *             meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
+ *          c) Recolor the packet: the policer output color is different than
+ *             the meter output color.
+ *       The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
+ *       set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
+ *    C) Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+ *       configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
+ *       includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
+ *       output color.
+ *
+ * Once successfully created, an MTR object is linked to one or several flows
+ * through the meter action of the flow API.
+ *    A) Whether an MTR object is private to a flow or potentially shared by
+ *       several flows has to be specified at creation time.
+ *    B) Several meter actions can be potentially registered for the same flow.
+ *
+ * @warning
+ * @b EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

+
+Traffic Metering and Policing API
+=================================
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This is the generic API for the Quality of Service (QoS) Traffic Metering and
+Policing (MTR) of Ethernet devices. This API is agnostic of the underlying HW,
+SW or mixed HW-SW implementation.
+
+The main features are:
+
+* Part of DPDK rte_ethdev API
+* Capability query API
+* Metering algorithms: RFC 2697 Single Rate Three Color Marker (srTCM), RFC 2698
+  and RFC 4115 Two Rate Three Color Marker (trTCM)
+* Policer actions (per meter output color): recolor, drop
+* Statistics (per policer output color)
+
+Configuration steps
+-------------------
+
+The metering and policing stage typically sits on top of flow classification,
+which is why the MTR objects are enabled through a special "meter" action.
+
+The MTR objects are created and updated in their own name space (``rte_mtr``)
+within the ``librte_ether`` library. Whether an MTR object is private to a
+flow or potentially shared by several flows has to be specified at its
+creation time.
+
+Once successfully created, an MTR object is hooked into the RX processing path
+of the Ethernet device by linking it to one or several flows through the
+dedicated "meter" flow action. One or several "meter" actions can be registered
+for the same flow. An MTR object can only be destroyed if there are no flows
+using it.
+
+Run-time processing
+-------------------
+
+Traffic metering determines the color for the current packet (green, yellow,
+red) based on the previous history for this flow as maintained by the MTR
+object. The policer can do nothing, override the color the packet or drop the
+packet. Statistics counters are maintained for MTR object, as configured.
+
+The processing done for each input packet hitting an MTR object is:
+
+* Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output color)
+  based on the previous traffic history reflected in the current state of the
+  MTR object, according to the specific traffic metering algorithm. The
+  traffic metering algorithm can typically work in color aware mode, in which
+  case the input packet already has an initial color (the input color), or in
+  color blind mode, which is equivalent to considering all input packets
+  initially colored as green.
+
+* Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+  output color, which can:
+
+  * Drop the packet.
+
+  * Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the meter
+    output color (essentially a no-op action).
+
+  * Recolor the packet: the policer output color is set to a different color
+    than the meter output color. The policer output color is the output color
+    of the packet, which is set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct
+    ``rte_mbuf::sched::color``).
+
+* Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+  configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set includes
+  the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each output color.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH V3 3/5] ethdev: add new api for traffic metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

This patch introduces new ethdev generic API for Traffic Metering and
Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.

Main features:
1. Traffic metering: determine the color for the current packet (green,
   yellow, red) based on history maintained by the MTR object. Supported
   algorithms: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).
2. Policing (per meter output color actions): re-color the packet (keep
   or change the meter output color) or drop the packet.
3. Statistics
4. Capability API

---
Changes in v3:
- None

Changes in v2:
- Implemented input from Hemant:
     - Added support for RFC 4115 trTCM algorithm
     - Added support for meter pass-through mode: see API functions
       rte_mtr_meter_enable() and rte_mtr_meter_disable()
- Implemented input from Jerin:
     - Added capability API
- Implemented input from Thomas:
     - Added new API functions under the EXPERIMENTAL section in map file
- Improved the mechanism for MTR object chaining: each MTR object can be
  configured whther to read input color from a previous MTR object in the
  same flow (if any) of from DSCP traslation table
- Improved run-time update functions
- Doxygen: added more descriptions, small fixes

Changes in v1 (from RFC [1]):
- Implemented input from Thomas:
     - Added EXPERIMENTAL tag in rte_mtr.h and MANTAINERS for this new API
- Implemented input from Adrien:
     - Added more Doxygen comments to re-inforce relationship between MTR and
       flow
- Doxygen: added hook in doxy-api-index.md

+/**
+ * @file
+ * RTE Generic Traffic Metering and Policing API
+ *
+ * This interface provides the ability to configure the traffic metering and
+ * policing (MTR) in a generic way.
+ *
+ * The processing done for each input packet hitting a MTR object is:
+ *    A) Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
+ *       color), based on the previous history of the flow reflected in the
+ *       current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
+ *       metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
+ *       in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
+ *       initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
+ *       equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
+ *    B) Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+ *       output color, which can:
+ *          a) Drop the packet.
+ *          b) Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
+ *             meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
+ *          c) Recolor the packet: the policer output color is different than
+ *             the meter output color.
+ *       The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
+ *       set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
+ *    C) Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+ *       configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
+ *       includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
+ *       output color.
+ *
+ * Once successfully created, an MTR object is linked to one or several flows
+ * through the meter action of the flow API.
+ *    A) Whether an MTR object is private to a flow or potentially shared by
+ *       several flows has to be specified at creation time.
+ *    B) Several meter actions can be potentially registered for the same flow.
+ *
+ * @warning
+ * @b EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

+
+Traffic Metering and Policing (MTR) API
+=======================================
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This is the generic API for the Quality of Service (QoS) Traffic Metering and
+Policing (MTR) of Ethernet devices. This API is agnostic of the underlying HW,
+SW or mixed HW-SW implementation.
+
+Main features:
+
+* Part of DPDK rte_ethdev API
+* Capability query API
+* Metering algorithms: RFC 2697 Single Rate Three Color Marker (srTCM), RFC 2698
+  and RFC 4115 Two Rate Three Color Marker (trTCM)
+* Policer actions (per meter output color): recolor, drop
+* Statistics (per policer output color)
+
+Configuration steps
+-------------------
+
+Metering and policing stage typically sits on top of flow classification,
+which is why the MTR objects are enabled through a special "meter" action.
+
+The MTR objects are created and updated in their own name space (rte_mtr)
+within the librte_ether library. Whether an MTR object is private to a flow
+or potentially shared by several flows has to be specified at its creation
+time.
+
+Once successfully created, an MTR object is hooked into the RX processing path
+of the Ethernet device by linking it to one or several flows through the
+dedicated "meter" flow action. One or several "meter" actions can be registered
+for the same flow. An MTR object can only be destroyed if there are no flows
+using it.
+
+Run-time processing
+-------------------
+
+Traffic metering determines the color for the current packet (green, yellow,
+red) based on the previous history for this flow as maintained by the MTR
+object. The policer can do nothing, override the color the packet or drop the
+packet. Statistics counters are maintained for MTR object, as configured.
+
+The processing done for each input packet hitting an MTR object is:
+* Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
+  color) based on the previous traffic history reflected in the
+  current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
+  metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
+  in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
+  initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
+  equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
+* Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+  output color, which can:
+.. Drop the packet.
+.. Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
+   meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
+.. Recolor the packet: the policer output color is set to a different color
+   than the meter output color.
+   The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
+   set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
+* Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+  configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
+  includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
+  output color.

This section throws several doc build errors. Bullet lists need to have
a blank line before them and the second level indentation isn't correct here.

It should be something like this:


The processing done for each input packet hitting an MTR object is:

* Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output color)
  based on the previous traffic history reflected in the current state of the
  MTR object, according to the specific traffic metering algorithm. The
  traffic metering algorithm can typically work in color aware mode, in which
  case the input packet already has an initial color (the input color), or in
  color blind mode, which is equivalent to considering all input packets
  initially colored as green.

* Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
  output color, which can:

  * Drop the packet.

  * Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the meter
    output color (essentially a no-op action).

  * Recolor the packet: the policer output color is set to a different color
    than the meter output color. The policer output color is the output color
    of the packet, which is set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct
    ``rte_mbuf::sched::color``).

* Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
  configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set includes
  the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each output color.

You need to add the command description in cmd_help_long_parsed.
And doc for new commands.

Would you update the UINT8 to UINT16?  The same to all the port_id.

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH V2 2/5] ethdev: add new eth_dev_ops function for mtr ops get

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Following similar approach as rte_flow and rte_tm for modularity reasons,
the ops for the new rte_mtr API are retrieved through a new eth_dev_ops
function.

Signed-off-by: Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com>

Changes in v2:
-None

Changes in v1 (from RFC [1]):
- Removed ethdev API function to get the MTR ops, as it is not needed
  (input from Thomas)

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH V2 3/5] ethdev: add new api for traffic metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

This patch introduces new ethdev generic API for Traffic Metering and
Policing (MTR), which is yet another standard RX offload for Ethernet
devices.

Similar to rte_flow and rte_tm APIs, the configuration of MTR objects is
done in their own namespace (rte_mtr) within the librte_ether library.

Main features:
1. Traffic metering: determine the color for the current packet (green,
   yellow, red) based on history maintained by the MTR object. Supported
   algorithms: srTCM (RFC 2697), trTCM (RFC 2698 and RFC 4115).
2. Policing (per meter output color actions): re-color the packet (keep
   or change the meter output color) or drop the packet.
3. Statistics
4. Capability API

Signed-off-by: Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com>
---
Changes in v2:
- Implemented input from Hemant:
     - Added support for RFC 4115 trTCM algorithm
     - Added support for meter pass-through mode: see API functions
       rte_mtr_meter_enable() and rte_mtr_meter_disable()
- Implemented input from Jerin:
     - Added capability API
- Implemented input from Thomas:
     - Added new API functions under the EXPERIMENTAL section in map file
- Improved the mechanism for MTR object chaining: each MTR object can be
  configured whther to read input color from a previous MTR object in the
  same flow (if any) of from DSCP traslation table
- Improved run-time update functions
- Doxygen: added more descriptions, small fixes

Changes in v1 (from RFC [1]):
- Implemented input from Thomas:
     - Added EXPERIMENTAL tag in rte_mtr.h and MANTAINERS for this new API
- Implemented input from Adrien:
     - Added more Doxygen comments to re-inforce relationship between MTR and
       flow
- Doxygen: added hook in doxy-api-index.md

+/**
+ * @file
+ * RTE Generic Traffic Metering and Policing API
+ *
+ * This interface provides the ability to configure the traffic metering and
+ * policing (MTR) in a generic way.
+ *
+ * The processing done for each input packet hitting a MTR object is:
+ *    A) Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
+ *       color), based on the previous history of the flow reflected in the
+ *       current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
+ *       metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
+ *       in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
+ *       initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
+ *       equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
+ *    B) Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+ *       output color, which can:
+ *          a) Drop the packet.
+ *          b) Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
+ *             meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
+ *          c) Recolor the packet: the policer output color is different than
+ *             the meter output color.
+ *       The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
+ *       set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
+ *    C) Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+ *       configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
+ *       includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
+ *       output color.
+ *
+ * Once successfully created, an MTR object is linked to one or several flows
+ * through the meter action of the flow API.
+ *    A) Whether an MTR object is private to a flow or potentially shared by
+ *       several flows has to be specified at creation time.
+ *    B) Several meter actions can be potentially registered for the same flow.
+ *
+ * @warning
+ * @b EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

+
+Traffic Metering and Policing (MTR) API
+=======================================
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This is the generic API for the Quality of Service (QoS) Traffic Metering and
+Policing (MTR) of Ethernet devices. This API is agnostic of the underlying HW,
+SW or mixed HW-SW implementation.
+
+Main features:
+
+* Part of DPDK rte_ethdev API
+* Capability query API
+* Metering algorithms: RFC 2697 Single Rate Three Color Marker (srTCM), RFC 2698
+  and RFC 4115 Two Rate Three Color Marker (trTCM)
+* Policer actions (per meter output color): recolor, drop
+* Statistics (per policer output color)
+
+Configuration steps
+-------------------
+
+Metering and policing stage typically sits on top of flow classification,
+which is why the MTR objects are enabled through a special "meter" action.
+
+The MTR objects are created and updated in their own name space (rte_mtr)
+within the librte_ether library. Whether an MTR object is private to a flow
+or potentially shared by several flows has to be specified at its creation
+time.
+
+Once successfully created, an MTR object is hooked into the RX processing path
+of the Ethernet device by linking it to one or several flows through the
+dedicated "meter" flow action. One or several "meter" actions can be registered
+for the same flow. An MTR object can only be destroyed if there are no flows
+using it.
+
+Run-time processing
+-------------------
+
+Traffic metering determines the color for the current packet (green, yellow,
+red) based on the previous history for this flow as maintained by the MTR
+object. The policer can do nothing, override the color the packet or drop the
+packet. Statistics counters are maintained for MTR object, as configured.
+
+The processing done for each input packet hitting an MTR object is:
+* Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
+  color) based on the previous traffic history reflected in the
+  current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
+  metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
+  in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
+  initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
+  equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
+* Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+  output color, which can:
+.. Drop the packet.
+.. Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
+   meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
+.. Recolor the packet: the policer output color is set to a different color
+   than the meter output color.
+   The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
+   set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
+* Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+  configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
+  includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
+  output color.

I can't comment most of these changes, however for the part related to the
flow command:

[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 2/3] ethdev: add new rte_mtr API for traffic metering and policing

[Cristian Dumitrescu]

Signed-off-by: Cristian Dumitrescu <cristian.dumitrescu@intel.com>
---
Changes in v1 (from RFC [1]):
- Added EXPERIMENTAL tag in rte_mtr.h and MANTAINERS for this new API
  (input from Thomas)
- Added more Doxygen comments to re-inforce relationship between MTR and
  flow (input from Adrien)
- Added Doxygen hook in doxy-api-index.md

+/**
+ * @file
+ * RTE Generic Traffic Metering and Policing API
+ *
+ * This interface provides the ability to configure the traffic metering and
+ * policing (MTR) in a generic way.
+ *
+ * The processing done for each input packet hitting a MTR object is:
+ *    A) Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
+ *       color), based on the previous history of the flow reflected in the
+ *       current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
+ *       metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
+ *       in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
+ *       initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
+ *       equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
+ *    B) Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
+ *       output color, which can:
+ *          a) Drop the packet.
+ *          b) Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
+ *             meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
+ *          c) Recolor the packet: the policer output color is different than
+ *             the meter output color.
+ *       The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
+ *       set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
+ *    C) Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
+ *       configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
+ *       includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
+ *       output color.
+ *
+ * Once successfully created, an MTR object is linked to one or several flows
+ * through the meter action of the flow API.
+ *    A) Whether an MTR object is private to a flow or potentially shared by
+ *       several flows has to be specified at creation time.
+ *    B) Several meter actions can be potentially registered for the same flow.
+ *
+ * @warning
+ * @b EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

> + * RTE Generic Traffic Metering and Policing API
> + *
> + * This interface provides the ability to configure the traffic metering and
> + * policing (MTR) in a generic way.
> + *
> + * The processing done for each input packet hitting a MTR object is:
> + *    A) Traffic metering: The packet is assigned a color (the meter output
> + *       color), based on the previous history of the flow reflected in the
> + *       current state of the MTR object, according to the specific traffic
> + *       metering algorithm. The traffic metering algorithm can typically work
> + *       in color aware mode, in which case the input packet already has an
> + *       initial color (the input color), or in color blind mode, which is
> + *       equivalent to considering all input packets initially colored as green.
> + *    B) Policing: There is a separate policer action configured for each meter
> + *       output color, which can:
> + *          a) Drop the packet.
> + *          b) Keep the same packet color: the policer output color matches the
> + *             meter output color (essentially a no-op action).
> + *          c) Recolor the packet: the policer output color is different than
> + *             the meter output color.
> + *       The policer output color is the output color of the packet, which is
> + *       set in the packet meta-data (i.e. struct rte_mbuf::sched::color).
> + *    C) Statistics: The set of counters maintained for each MTR object is
> + *       configurable and subject to the implementation support. This set
> + *       includes the number of packets and bytes dropped or passed for each
> + *       output color.
> + *
> + * Once successfully created, an MTR object is linked to one or several flows
> + * through the meter action of the flow API.
> + *    A) Whether an MTR object is private to a flow or potentially shared by
> + *       several flows has to be specified at creation time.
> + *    B) Several meter actions can be potentially registered for the same flow.
> + *
> + * @warning
> + * @b EXPERIMENTAL: this API may change without prior notice

will you please also add following here
1. RFC-4115—A differentiated service two-rate three-color marker with 
efficient handling of in-profile traffic
2. Pass Through Mode- This mode does not implement differentiated 
services. It can be used for some applications to block/pass selected 
flows and set a constant color for these flows. The default (disabled) 
mode is color-aware pass-through with no dropping of packets.
- In color-aware mode, packet pre-color is copied to the packet color
– In color-blind mode, the default color is programmable per profile
– Configurable next module and command per packet color. Each color 
action can be programmed to pass or drop the packet.

Do you want to do this checking at library level or at driver level?
Same profile can be used by two distinct drivers!

This is applicable for other APIs as well. Your current API 
implementation is mostly pass-through. A stateful will be better.

Yes, will add both. The trTCM from RFC 4115 was already on my list, adding the pass-through mode makes sense to me as well.

Yes, the same meter profiles can potentially be shared for a group of ethdev ports, but unfortunately we cannot do this with the current ethdev API, which is per port with no sharing ability between groups of ports.

Here we are lucky to have just a read-only configuration template that needs to be shared amongst ports, so the quick workaround is to define the same profile for each port at the expense of some (small) work duplication. Hopefully this is OK with you?

Is that mean you will create the meter profile template first and then 
apply/remove that on a port?

how about adding a use-count to the profile?

On a different lines, can we do following
1. Metering profile is not applied to a port.  Metering object maintain 
the use-count.
2. metering object is applied to the port, which in turn contains 
metering profile.

Hemant

Meter profile is just the configuration params (configuration template) that can be applied to many meter objects.

Approach A (my proposal): Keep all API functions per port, including meter profile create, including meter create. So in the likely case that meters on different ports use the same configuration, the same profile needs to be registered once for each port.

Approach B (your suggestion, if I got it right): Have a global list of profiles maintained internally by the library. This allows using the same profile on different ports, so no need to register the same profile explicitly for each port.

The reason I don't favour approach B  is it requires maintaining static global data in the library, but I don't see any tricky implications with either A or B.

Do you have strong preference towards B?


> how about adding a use-count to the profile?
> 

Yes, this is already part of the current proposal: the number of meter objects that share the same profile (i.e. configuration template) is counted, so the profile can be deleted only when it does not have any users (i.e. meter objects).

> On a different lines, can we do following

Not sure I understand your statement on: "metering object maintain the use-count". Maybe we have a terminology misalignment on meter profile and meter object and I am not fully getting your point?

In my mind this is approach B from above. Also the above statement should be corrected to: metering _profile_ maintain the use-count (of how many metering objects are currently using it, i.e. use the same configuration template)?

Yes, this is approach A from above :)

This API is experimental. So you should not version it in 17.11.
You can look how it was done for EAL:

EXPERIMENTAL {
    global:
...
} DPDK_17.11;

Re: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 3/3] rte_flow: add new action for traffic metering and policing

[Adrien Mazarguil]

Hi Cristian,

This commit should probably come first in the series since the rest relies
on it, right?

Subject line does not conform past commits, it should start with "ethdev:"
and not mention "rte_flow" (use "flow API").

A short description of what this new item does and why it's added is
necessary. Context provided by the rest of the series will not always be
available.

Even if MTR is a separate API, please add to this commit:

- Documentation update: guides/prog_guide/rte_flow.rst
- Testpmd update: app/test-pmd/cmdline_flow.c
- Testpmd documentation update: doc/guides/testpmd_app_ug/testpmd_funcs.rst

You can find examples in previous commits related to rte_flow.

I do not understand this comment. This is a flow action, not a flow item (that might be a packet field with an associated mask); this mtr_id is similar to queue ID/index/VF ID from other flow actions, none having any mask attached. Adrien, can you please clarify?

All of these items are a must and will get done, but do they have to be done in the same patch set?

My plan was to introduce test-pmd updates through separate patch sets after the API is accepted. I know you had these items done in the same patch set for rte_flow, but there are other APIs such as eventdev and ethdev traffic management which introduced sample app one release later.

Yes, I actually misread it as a pattern item definition for some
reason. Nothing to see here, move along!

That'd be much better as far as I'm involved in this review (rte_flow
changes). You should put them in the same patch as the above.

> My plan was to introduce test-pmd updates through separate patch sets after the API is accepted. I know you had these items done in the same patch set for rte_flow, but there are other APIs such as eventdev and ethdev traffic management which introduced sample app one release later.

In that case, could you split these changes in two parts?

This patch could bring the basic MTR action support in testpmd, by this I
mean the ability to type a flow command with such an action and not get
rejected with a "bad arguments" error since it is actually part of the API,
even if nothing is connected to that action at this point. The rule should
however get rejected by its lack of support in the underlying PMD.

Same idea for rte_flow and testpmd documentation update, this patch only
needs the minimum amount describing what this action is without a link to
the actual MTR documentation, which is not present at this point.

Subsequent commits shall update these as they complete the MTR API.

Thanks for bringing yet another offload API.

What are the expected devices to implement this API?

It would be nice to have reviews and acks from other vendors.

Assuming this action is provided to the underlying PMD, can you describe
what happens next; what is a PMD supposed to do when creating the flow rule
and the impact on its data path?

It looks like mtr_id is arbitrarily set by the user calling
rte_mtr_create(), which means the PMD has to look up the associated MTR
context somehow.

How about making the rte_mtr_create() API return an opaque rte_mtr object
pointer provided back to all API functions as well as through this action
instead, and not leave it up to the user?

Metering is just another flow action that needs to be supported by rte_flow API.

Typically, NICs supporting this action have an array of metering & policing contexts on their data path, which are abstracted as MTR objects in our API.
- rte_mtr_create() configures an MTR object, with no association to any of the known flows yet.
	- On NIC side, the driver configures one of the available metering & policing contexts.
- rte_flow_create() defines the flow (match rule) and its set of actions, with metering & policing as one of the actions.
	- On NIC side, the driver configures a flow/filter for traffic classification/distribution/bifurcation, with the metering & policing context enabled for this flow.

At run-time, any packet matching this flow will execute this action, which involves metering (packet is assigned a color) and policing (packet may be recolored or dropped, as configured), with stats being updated as well.

Of course, it can be done this way as well, but IMHO probably not the best idea from the application perspective. We had a similar discussion when we defined the ethdev traffic management API [1].

Object handles can be integers, void pointers or pointers to opaque structures, and each of these approaches are allowed and used by DPDK APIs. Here is an example why I think using integers for MTR object handle makes the life of the application easier:
- Let's assume we have several actions for a flow (a1, a2, a3, ...).
- When handles are pointers to opaque structures, app typically needs to save all of them in a per flow data structure: struct a1 *p1, struct a2 *p2, struct a3 *p3.
	-This results in increased complexity and size for the app tables, which can be avoided.
- When handles are integers generated by the app as opposed of driver, the app can simply use a single index - let's cal it flow_id - and register it as the handle to each of these flow actions.
	- No more fake tables.
	- No more worries about the pointer being valid in one address space and not valid in another.

There is some handle lookup to be done by the driver, but this is a trivial task,  and checking the validity of the handle (input parameter) is the first thing done by any API function, regardless of which handle style is used.

Thanks, this description should be part of the documentation in the final
patch. The relationship between rte_mtr and rte_flow objects must be
described as well, for instance making clear that one cannot remove a mtr
object if a flow rule depends on it.

All this sounds reasonable from the control plane standpoint. My comment was
more generally besides the above rte_flow action, are we sure mtr_id will
never be used to perform actions from the data plane?

Otherwise driver lookup is perhaps a trivial task but is nonetheless
expensive. This step can be avoided if mtr_id contains enough information to
locate the related object as fast as possible inside the PMD without the
need for an intermediate lookup table.

In which case, making mtr_id a pointer-sized opaque value (e.g. uintptr_t)
provided by the PMD when calling rte_mtr_create() gives more flexibility to
the PMD. For some, a basic index value could be enough while for others, an
intermediate structure could be necessary.

Admittedly this is exactly the same as a pointer type to an opaque object,
address space-related issues would have to be managed by the PMD either
way. Applications are not supposed to dereference such objects.

Thanks for continuing to look into this! I am actively looking for partners to evolve this API further and make it a good fit for DPDK devices. Now that Traffic Management API got merged, I can hopefully come back and spend more time on this.

Yes, took the note to document this. Will expand this is Doxygen as well.

Yes, we are sure. This object ID is just used for configuration.

Even for the SW fall-back case (see the librte_meter) this ID is not used on data path. When flow is added with this action, the meter context is simply initialized in the flow table entry and used directly from here, no lookup takes place on data path.

Yes, agreed, any ID lookup/translation on data path is expensive and has to be avoided. As stated above, there is no ID lookup/translation on the data path to be performed here.

Yes, these are the typical methods to avoid any ID lookup/translation on data path, but not needed here.
